# iNYd4 bYY ft I--A-IN-- -4 Hold On ToYour Hats ITJE BREA$ has come. Hold on to your hats, because we may be going on a down hill ride. The decline we're talking about has nothing to do with commodities or grain; we're noting the first drop in enrollment here since the war. Like the weary consumers, we just can't believe it. We're too accustomed by now to overcrowded classes, restaurants and houses to adjust quicl:ly to the notion that Contributions The Daily attempts to present discus- sions and features on its editorial page which are of greatest possible interest to its student readers. As part of this aim, we will add to this page a student column and a cartoon devoted principally to local issues. Any student who wishes to apply for the position of columnist or cartoon- ist may submit samples of his work to this office before noon, Friday, Feb. 13. Positions are also open for book, movie and music reviewers. Sample reviews must also be in by the Friday deadline. In addition to these permanent fea- tures, The Daily welcomes regular con- tributions from its readers to both the Letters to The Editor and It So Rappens columns. -The Senior Editors. from now on we may have some room in which to turn around. And like our price thwarted brethren, we can't believe thati this is the real thing. We keep telling ourselves that before the war, enrolllment ilways went down during the spring term, and that after all, with a February graduating class of 1500, a drop in registration was to be expected. And even the fact that we still have some 19,500 students around here can't discour- age us. All we can reahze is that there are 1,000 less. University officials prayerfully predicted last fall, when enrollment shot up to 20,500, that this marked the peak of all peaks, and we would now start the decline. They said that enrollment would eventually level off at about 18,000. We, who entered the Uni- versity during the boom and have been hustled around ever since, just couldn't be- lieve it. More than half the decrease is accounted for by the drop in veteran enrollment, a trend which is likely to continue. But we are slightly worried about those people who won't be applying in the future. It was com- forting to think that 20,500 people wanted a. college education even if it made conditions a little crowded. We now can go to our still-packed classes with a lighter heart, and even next fall when enrollment shoots back up to 20,000 there will at least have been this moment of joy. --Harriett Friedman. IT SO HAPPENS.- * Post-Mortem - What Was the Mark? A COED of our acquaintance was assigned a term paper on Lucretius for her phi- losophy course. She neglected to study up on that philosopher, but the night before the paper was due, deciding to trust to luck and her "natural ability," dashed it off. Some time later, the paper was returned. At the end the professor had noted: "In- genious, but not Lucretius." ANOTHER of our femnale friends ran into some academic trouble because of neglecting her studies. She was consider- ably shocked when she discovered a ques- tion on her Shakespeare final asking for a comparison between King John and Uen2ry IV, part one--the poor girl had never gotten around to King John. Novel Campagn A CAMPAIGN TO MAKE "racial prejudice as unpopular as B.O." will be carried out on a national level this year by the Advertising Council, Inc. The latest in a series of public welfare drives carried on by the council, it will have the support of the entire advertising profession. In addi- tion, many business and manufacturing groups, newspaper associations, labor, con- sumer, and civic organizations have pledged support. The three principal points to be stressed in the campaign are: 1. Accept-or reject - people on their in- dividual worth. 2. Do not listen to or spread rumors against a race or religion. 3. Speak up against prejudice, wherever it is; in business, school, labor union, church or social group. Every available means of advertising will be used to publicize the program, known as the "United American Campaign." Striking posters have been designed and eloquent statements formulated. Newspapers, maga- zines, radio broadcasts, outdoor display panels, and subway car cards all will be used to carry the campaign to the people. Campaign manager Edward Royal says the drive will be pushed strongly, in the South. The campaign was organized by public spirited citizens who felt that the enormous power of advertising could and should be used to promote public as well as private interests. The purpose of the campaign is the best argument for its support. --Pat James. Same Note THE CRACKED Liberty Bell, historic monument in Independence Hall, Phil- adelphia, is. becoming a stronger tradition with the passing of time. A recent accident in a little Italian village is our proof. To express their thanks for the goodwill of the American Friendship Train, the Ro- tary Club, of Florence, Italy, ordered a bell to be cast. "A new Liberty Bell," according to the Associated Press, the bell was solid brass, one foot high and weighed fifteen pounds. Not as large as the original Liberty Bell, it was large enough to express the feeling of many hungry Italian people; so it was shipped by rail-on its way to the Rotary Club of Philadelphia. Fate stopped the train at a tiny village, whose inhabitants were eager to see the bell. They excitedly unwrapped the elaborate But fortunately, our friend had seen a film of Robin Hood last summer in which a King John took considerable part as the villain.

It Could Be Poor Memory ODNE OF THE LOCAL bookstores, over- whelmed by orders for a certain book, reports that so far no customer has men- tioned the title.

We reprint it here with no changes whatever, be- cause we think i's pretty good as it stands- almost too good to be true. We hope yn like it as much as we did.) Daily Mail Reporter UND SHOT DEAD in the London home of his adopted niece, Sir Leonard Swin- nerton Dyer, 71-year-old baronet of West- hope Manor, Craven Arms, was said at a Battersea inquest yesterday to have been "increasingly depressed about the political situation." Sir Leonard was found shot through the heart on a settee in the lounge of Hightrees House, Nightingale-lane, Clapham Common. Beside him lay his pet dachshund which had also been shot dead. Along the back of the settee lay a sport- ing rifle. One the seat of an armchair was a letter addressed to Sir Leonard's niece by adoption, Miss Marjorie Lawrence, with whom he had been staying for the past two years. Miss Lawrence told the Coroner that he had been "grievously ill and lately seemed increasingly depressed at the political sit- uation." "Sir Leonard first came to my home on a visit in September, 1945," she said, "but fell ill and never got well enough to return home." Verdict: Suicide while of unbalanced mind. Gandhi PULLTS FROM the gun of a Hindu fanatic last week ended the life and the career of one of the most amazing men that this generation of amazing men has seen. Mohandas Gandhi, the man who de- veloped the technique of passive resistance that eventually forced the British out of his beloved India, lived to see his dream of independence come true and died trying to stop the bloodshed that followed. Two weeks before his death, it was re- ported that some of his followers were try- ing to talk Gandhi into proclaiming his divinity. Nothing came of it during his life- time but it is not only conceivable but en- tirely probable that thg people of India will deify their liberator within the next few years. Gandhi has variously been called a saint among politicians and a politician among saints. It is certainly true that no politician in our western society has ever had the command over so many people as he had over some 400 million Indians. The West has seen powerful men but they owed their power in part at least to their positions as heads of states or some similar position. Gandhi derived all of his power from the force of his personality and his ideas. City Editors SCRATCH PAD SEVERAL WEEKS AGO students at our sister educational institution up in East Lansing stole a march on us by gaining ap- proval for the formation of "political clubs." Micbigan State President Ha nnah okayed the move asking only that student political groups take it easy on state politics where appropriations"to the college were in- volved. The. action was hailed by students who immediately took steps to organize young Republican, young Democrat and Wallace Progressives clubs. We checked with President Ruthven to see if something of this kind might be done here. Mr. Ruthven, in a letter, said the ad- ministration officers of the University had discussed the subject and turned the matter over to Dean Erich Walter. Dean Walter has been studying the sub ject of political clubs for some time. Recent- ly he approved a request by the president of the Ann Arbor Young Republican club to announce meetings on University Bulle- tin Boards and include a sign-up sheet for any student interested in joining the club. This latest action amounts to approval of political activity among students. Now all that remains to be done is for a group of Wallace backers, young Republicans or young Democrats to apply to the Com- mittee on Student Affairs for official sanction. This is an election year when many stu- dents will be casting their first presidential vote. Nothing could be more natural than the formation of avowed political student groups to back one party or the other in the coning campaign. These groups could secure topflight speakers for appearances here to explain issues and ask for support. In the past political groups have func- tioned on campus in one guise or another. However they have mostly been the voluble far left ideologies, leaving the vast majority of students, wo icalan toward established parties, without any voice. There is of course one touchy quetion which will undoubtedly come up if political groups are approved here. The Communist party is recognized on the ballot and mem- bers of that group among the student body will ask for recognition. They should be recognized and allowed to operate along with the young Republicans and Democrats even though the headline-hunting Detroit newspapers will hysterically cry "Reds Ram- pant on U Campus." University authorities shouldn ot allow themselves to be swayed by circulation- building Detroit papers, It/ is generally recognized that weil-informed students can intelligently choose among conflict- ing ideologies if they have the oppor- tunity. -Dick Maloy CURRENT MOVIES At the State... GOLDEN EARRINGS, with Marlene Diet- rich and Ray Miland A LTHOUGH the presence of Quentin Rey- nolds adds a note of authenticity to this charming bit of fish stew, "Golden Ear- rings" is in reality a gypsy tale embellished with some modern trappings. These include an abundance of Nazi agents, secret for- mulae and a modicum of Dietrich's legs. Ray Milland is a rather peaked British army officer at the start of the film, but after a little of Dietrich's expert cooking and care, he picks up remarkably. He is able to dispose of several pretty nasty Nazis and even swim the Rhine with practically no trouble at all.V The song "Golden Earrings" is displayed prominently and effectively throughout the picture in the "original" gypsy and in one Lauren Bacallish rendition in English. Al- though Milland is a trifle backward, the song plus the unashamedly biological Mar- lene finally break down his British reserve and between the three of them, the simple life gets quite a plug. -Fredrica Winters. At the Michigan ... MY WILD IRISH ROSE (Dennis Mor- gan, Andrea King and Arlene Dahl). DENNIS MORGAN. as Chauncey Olcott, is a young tugboat hand who, to no- body's surprise, least of all his own, reaches1 the top as an Irish singer. This tuneful mel- odrama might have been a wonderful vehicle for Morgan's pleasing tenor. Even his superb voice, however, could not overcome the less- than-mediocre script and acting that left the audience flat at the end of ,it all. Nor could the slap-stick comedy, the technicolor or the "love-interest" supplied by Arlene Dahl and Andrea King. Even with its ex- travaganza scenes, this picture could hardly interest anyone except a Dennis Morgan fan or an Irishman. -John Campbell. BIIi. A 1 1IN "Appeal to her patriotism.
